Chapter 11


"It's time, let's go." Bella said coming down the dorm stairs in long black flowing robes that she wore during death eater meetings or when she was around her father.

Jasper was wearing black robes as well, ones Draco gave him to wear. He nodded and followed her out of the common room door, they met Snape at the secret entrance that the Slytherins use to sneak out for the death eater meetings.

"Be careful love." Snape told Bella as he gave her a kiss.

"Always." she smiled at him. Jasper nodded towards Snape who returned the gesture and followed Bella outside, along the side of the woods until they reached past the wards.

"Okay hold onto me and don't let go. Can't have you splinting yourself on the way there." Bella told Jasper. He looked slightly worried but wrapped his arms around Bella's waist and held on, hoping not to crush her during the trip.

Bella grabbed Jaspers arms and Jasper watched as swirls of darkness gathered around them before he felt a tug at his navel and they were spinning in the air before landing with a thud.

It took Jasper a few seconds to gather his self enough to let go of Bella, who he could tell was laughing at him.

"Deep breaths Jazz. It takes some getting use to, even for Vampires." She told him and he nodded before slowly letting go. He looked around and saw they landed in an entryway of a large Manor.

"Welcome to my fathers Manor, follow me." Bella told him. They moved through several hallways before stopping in front of a door that was guarded by a short, fat balding man.

"The dark lord is busy, he is about to have a meeting." he stuttered and Bella narrowed her eyes at him.

"I know you stupid tit mouse. The meeting is with me." Bella spat taking out her wand and throwing the man through the door and he landed on the floor gasping for air.

"Ah, welcome my child. What did Wormtail do this time." came a voice from a dark corner. Jasper kept his eyes on the floor like he was instructed.

"Told me you were busy and wouldn't let me in." Bella replied and Jasper heard a hiss before a loud scream filled the room as the man known as Wormtail screamed and withered on the floor in pain.

Jasper had a small smile on his face as he watched, entranced at the site and the feel of the dark magic in the room. Being in the same room as the dark lord was making Jasper feel high, something he hadn't felt since he was human and use to party with the guys in his unit. He got that feeling around Bella too but the dark lord's power was far more seductive.

Finally the man stopped screaming and was left panting and trying to apologize.

"Never, ever tell my daughter that I am busy. Do you understand, she is your princess you obey her every command." said a cold, hissing voice.

"Y..Yes, My lord. I …I am so sorry." Wormtail stuttered.

"OUT, Worthless filth." the dark lord yelled and the rat like man crawled out the door before it slammed shut behind him.

"I don't know why you keep him around, dad." Bella said and the dark lord chuckled. He didn't know either.

Bella grabbed Jasper's hand and led him towards the fire place before putting a hand on his shoulder and pushing down. Jasper understood and kneeled on the floor, with his eyes cast downward, he still hadn't looked at the dark lord yet. He knew he wasn't allowed to until the Dark lord told him he could.

"My baby how are you." a women's voice Jasper recognized as her mother said. Bella moved from beside Jasper and hugged her mom before kissing her fathers pale cheek.

"I'm good and were right on time." Bella said.

"Yes you are, have a seat my child, you as well Bellatrix. Now Jasper you may stand, I am pleased you know how to show respect." the dark lord hissed and Jasper stood and finally looked at the man that lead the dark side.

He was very frightening looking but Jasper could tell he exuded power and he felt a pull to that dark power and wanted to be around it more.

"Sit." the dark lord said conjuring a chair and Jasper finally saw they were sitting at a small round table. Bella and the dark lord on one end with Bellatrix next to her daughters other side and Jasper in front of all of them.

He sit as he was told and waited.

"So, Bella tells me that you want to hear more about our side and what we could offer you, is that true." the dark lord ask, eyes boring into Jaspers. Jasper could feel him in his head and Bella had already warned him about this part. The dark lord wanted to make sure he was telling the truth.

"Yes, my lord that is correct. She has showed me that there is more to life then what the Cullen's live by and I have never felt at home with them already. I read the book Bella gave me about dark creatures living in your world and what the dark has to offer and it sounded really interesting. I would love to live in a world where I could walk down the street with red eyes, skin sparkling and not have to hide who or what I am." Jasper said and the dark lord stared at him for a moment before nodding.

"I can see from your mind you have had a long and difficult life, from the time you were human up until now. Your experience in war and your gift with emotions would be very useful. Basically what we are trying to accomplish, is to establish equal rights for dark witches and wizards as well as dark creatures. The law's now make anyone that is a dark creature not allowed the same rights as wizards and anyone that uses unforgivables and dark magic are treated the same as dark creatures. We also want to keep magic safe from muggles so we don't have another witch hunt on our hands, this includes stricter rules for mud blood's. Dumbledore and the light are fighting against us because they don't like our methods. Yes we torture and kill but only to those that are against us. You would have to be ok with this and be able to follow our everyone command with out hesitation or regret." the dark lord explained and Jasper listened intensely.

"I understand and I know I would be able to follow every order you gave. I would be honored to help work towards a better life, one I would like to live in from now on. I am tired to pretending to be human like the others in my family. It is not what I pictured immortality to be like." Jasper replied and the dark lord nodded.

"You would also have to work with the Volturi. They have agreed to join our side when I have need for them. I hope that is not a problem." the dark lord said and Jasper shook his head.

"No it's not. I have never met them and I know Carlisle says bad things about them but they are the best of the best in the vampire world. They would be very helpful." Jasper said and the dark lord gave a nod.

"What do you think, my child." the dark lord hissed in parseltongue to Bella.

"I think he would be useful, and he fits in well with the other snakes at Hogwarts. Like you said his past experience and empathy is very useful. To be able to make someone feel pain with out ever touching them or use energy for spells. That's something the light doesn't have." Bella replied in the same tongue.

"I agree, I think we should mark him." the dark lord said and Bella nodded.

"My daughter and I have discussed this and we both agree that you will be useful to us. I would like to mark you as a death eater now, you'll want to keep it secret until we tell you otherwise. It would also be better if you stay off human blood until we take Hogwarts, that way Dumbledore can't have you kicked out, but once we gain control then you can go on whatever diet you want. How does that sound?" the dark lord ask and Jasper's eyes lit up.

"It sounds perfect. Bella has Snape supplying me with bloodlust potion until I can go back on a human blood diet. So I will be fine until then. Dumbledore as forbid us from drinking anything but animal blood while were at Hogwarts." Jasper told them and the dark lord nodded.

"Then come kneel to receive your mark." the dark lord said as he stood and drew his wand. Jasper stood as well and kneeled in front of the dark lord with a smile on his face. Bella exchanged a victory smirked with her mother who returned it.

The dark lord pushed up the sleeve of Jasper robe on his left arm and hissed. "Morsmordre."

Jasper gave a small hiss as they watched the black skull and snake tattoo burn into his skin. It took longer then normal due to his rock hard skin but after several long minutes he finally pulled away and stared at his new mark. He was a death eater and he couldn't be more happier.

Later that night after running down more rules and what Jasper can expect and the dark lord giving Bella the cursed necklace she and Draco needed, Bella apperated them both back to Hogwarts and they made there way back to the secret entrance and down the halls. Just before they turned to go towards the dungeons they were stopped.

"Jasper, Bella. What are you doing up this time of the night." they heard Carlisle's voice ask. Bella and Jasper turned around to face him.

"Nothing. I couldn't sleep and wanted to go for a walk. Jasper didn't want me to go alone and he was the only one up, so he came with me. Is that a problem." Bella
ask. Carlisle looked over Jasper then to Bella.

"10 Points from Slytherin for being out after curfew. Jasper son can I talk to you." Carlisle ask and Jasper shook his head.

"No. I have already told the others. I want nothing more to do with your family." Jasper said and Carlisle looked very sad but said nothing so Bella and Jasper continued back towards the common room.

"Be sure to keep that covered up, Jasper. Don't want Dumbledore asking questions." Bella told him and he nodded.

"It wont be a problem. I always wear long sleeves to cover my scars anyways so no one should question if I continue. What was the package your father gave you before we left." Jasper ask.

"Draco and I are working on something. The package is to help draw attention away from our original plan. Don't worry you'll find out soon enough. It should stir up the castle pretty well. Will plant it soon before the Christmas holiday." Bella told him and he nodded.

Bella went to bed after that and Jasper stayed up reading and staring at his new mark.

He couldn't wait for his first missions and death eater meetings. For the first time in as long as he could remember he felt like his life was going to start getting excited.

And it was all thanks to Bella for showing him another way and for that he would always be grateful.
